Yesterday Mozilla launched Firefox 26 for
Android bringing the now stable features of
the previous Beta release of the popular
browser.
Some of the main features in the latest build
of the mobile browser include a revamped
about:home page with a streamlined view
of the Top Sites list. Users can now also pin
their favorite sites to the start screen as well.
The enhanced new Home screen of the
browser allows you to swipe between
Bookmark, History, and Reading List screens
when a new tab is opened.
As far as security goes, there’s a small, but
appreciated new addition allowing the
Password manager to accept and store
script generated passwords. There’s a wider
option of default search engines now, as
Mozilla has added Bing’s and Yahoo!’s
search engines.
The UI is a bit refreshed, too, with a clickable
upper-left corner. It brings a slide out menu
which reveals your currently open tabs. The
URL field is also touched a bit and now
packs a pleasant curvy look. There are also
quite a bit of under the hood fixes and
changes allowing for better page rendering.
